Scoot Pte Ltd, operating as Scoot, is a Singaporean low-cost airline and a wholly owned subsidiary of Singapore Airlines.[5] It began its operations on 4 June 2012 on medium and long-haul routes from Singapore, predominantly to various airports throughout the Asia-Pacific region. Scoot's airline slogan is Escape the Ordinary.[6]

Scoot's fleet initially consisted of six Boeing 777-200ER aircraft previously operated by parent company Singapore Airlines. In 2015, Scoot began to transition its long-haul fleet to the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Scoot also uses the Airbus A320, inherited from Tigerair, another low-cost Singaporean airline which merged with Scoot in July 2015, along with the Airbus A320neo and Airbus A321neo for its short-haul flights.

Tigerair was merged into Scoot to consolidate the low-cost airline business, where its operations were absorbed into Scoot with the use of Tigerair's air operator's certificate (AOC). With the change of AOC following the merger, Scoot's IATA code was changed to Tigerair's TR from TZ, and its ICAO code was changed to Tigerair's TGW from SCO. The Scoot brand and the Scooter callsign were retained. Its head office is at Changi Airport.
